Manchester City seeks Josko Gvardiol, despite Leipzig's €100 million fee
Posted : 27 June 2023
Manchester City is actively pursuing the signing of RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol, a talented Croatian defender. However, RB Leipzig is demanding a fee of at least 100 million euros (£85.77 million) for the 21-year-old center-back.
City manager Pep Guardiola holds a high regard for Gvardiol, who impressed during the World Cup last year. According to sources, City has initiated contact with Gvardiol's representatives to explore a potential transfer.
Gvardiol currently has a release clause exceeding 110 million euros (£94.35 million), which can only be activated in the following summer. This indicates that Leipzig is unwilling to allow him to depart a year early for a significantly lower sum.
